Disclaimer: I would like to confirm that I do not own "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" as it is the property of 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm, the Disney Corporation, as well as its original creator: George Lucas. Any anime mentioned in this story, I do not own as well as they are the property of the writers and editors who created these unique characters.

Notice: Just to give you a heads up, this will be a parody of the movie and I'm doing the Disney canon only, not legends. I would normally say who I am casting as who, but I'd rather not say and let you guys guess which Anime character is role-playing as your favorite Star Wars characters. Anyhow, I do hope you enjoy this story and look forward to hearing your reviews.

I will delete any negative comments and yes, I'm referring to you to the anonymous nay reviewer as I do not care for your reviews, nor do I care what you think of me as I have every right to do what I want with my story.


Prologue

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Before the Rebel Alliance fought its way to freedom, before the Jedi Knights all but vanished from the known worlds, before the Empire was founded to expand like a cancer across the stars, before any of these things occurred, the Galactic Republic ruled much of the galaxy.

It was a time of peace, watched over by the Jedi Knights and Masters. But the Jedi were guardians only, using their amazing skills to defend justice. They were the Republic's peacekeepers; its rulers were the members of the Galactic Senate. Thousands of delegates, representing every planet in the Republic, met regularly in the great Senate chambers on the central world of Coruscant. There they wrote the laws of the Republic and settled the disputes that sometimes arose between planets.

Over the centuries, many problems came before the Senate. At first, the dispute over taxing trade routes seemed no different from all the others. The Trade Federation-an organization of merchants so powerful that they had a representative in the Galactic Senate, just as if they were a planet, wanted more control in the outlying star systems. The outlying planets objected. The debate dragged on and on.

Finally, the Trade Federation lost patience, and took more drastic action. They chose the small, watery worlds of Naboo and blockaded it, surrounding it with battleships so that no spaceships could land or take off from the planet. They hoped that the young Queen of Naboo would agree quickly to their demands. Then they could use Naboo as an example to persuade or force other planets to do the same.

But the young Queen did not give in. Tensions in the Senate grew worse. Worried that the Trade Federation's blockade might lead to open war, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate asked the Jedi for help. Soon, two Jedi ambassadors were on their way to Naboo to settle the conflict. They expected their mission to be short and simple…
